Get a virtual wife to nag you about your diet: Laundry and cooking not included

It seems that virtual wives have become topical somehow, what with the
online avatar killing of a husband that we learnt about yesterday. Now you can opt for a wife of your choice who will nag you about your cholesterol levels, taking enough exercise and eating well. You can choose one of four options, a maid/waitress, a nurse, an analyst and a nail artist. Once you've decided which one of these stereotypes you can commit too, you can then pick their name and voila, your virtual wife is born.

Originating in Japan, this service allows you to input your height and weight and then your wifey will remind you at regular updates on how to manage your weight. Their voice will be 'character appropriate' (I'm assuming chirpy for the waitress and bossy for the analyst) and you can even use this in conjunction with a meal management tool, which helps calculate the calorie intake of different foods.

Where's the husband option I wonder? Surely there's a gap in the market for a stressed fat stockbroker to lecture me on nutrition? Or not.
